The public record for this review may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On October 4, 2022, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (87 FR 39562, July 1, 2022) of the subject five-year review was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review. 1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). For further information concerning the conduct of this review and rules of general application, consult the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Staff report.—A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the review has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for this review on January 19, 2023. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules. Written submissions.—As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, interested parties that are parties to the review and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution,2 and any party other than an interested party to the review may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are due on or before January 26, 2023 and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review by January 26, 2023. However, should the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its review, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce’s final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce’s results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_ on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission’s procedures with respect to filings. In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed.

(J) I understand that failure to maintain the required certification and supporting documentation, or failure to substantiate the claims made herein, or not allowing CBP and/or Commerce to verify the claims made herein, may result in a de facto determination that all sales to which this certification applies are sales of merchandise that is covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and solar modules from China. I understand that such a finding will result in: (i) suspension of liquidation of all unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not become final) for which these requirements were not met; (ii) the importer being required to post the antidumping and countervailing duty cash deposits determined by Commerce; and (iii) the seller/exporter no longer being allowed to participate in the certification process. (K) I understand that agents of the exporter, such as freight forwarding companies or brokers, are not permitted to make this certification. (L) This certification was completed and signed, and a copy of the certification was provided to the importer, on, or prior to, the date of shipment if the shipment date is more than 14 days after the date of publication of the notice of Commerce’s preliminary determination of circumvention in the Federal Register. If the shipment date is on or before the 14th day after the date of publication of the notice of Commerce’s preliminary determination of circumvention in the Federal Register, this certification was completed and signed, and a copy of the certification was provided to the importer, by no later than 45 days after publication of the notice of Commerce’s preliminary determination of circumvention in the Federal Register.

SUMMARY : On May 28, 2024, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Archroma U.S., Inc., v. United States et al., Court No. 22–00354, finding that the regulatory provision upon which the U.S. Department of Commerce relied to revoke the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents (OBAs) from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (China) violates section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and ordering the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) to: accept the domestic interested party Archroma U.S., Inc.’s (Archroma) substantive response; and conduct a full sunset reviews of these orders. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT’s final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce’s final results of the sunset reviews, and that Commerce intends to: reinstate the antidumping duty orders on OBAs from Taiwan and China; accept Archroma’s substantive response; and conduct full sunset reviews of these orders under section 751(c)(1) and (d)(2) of the Act. Commerce will begin reconducting the sunset reviews on July 1, 2024. DATES : Applicable June 7, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Joshua Weiner, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3902. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On May 10, 2012, Commerce published the antidumping duty orders on OBAs from Taiwan and China in the Federal Register. 1 On October 3, 2022, Commerce initiated the sunset reviews of the Orders.2 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d), the publication of a sunset review notice of initiation in the Federal Register establishes two deadlines: a 15-day notice of intent to participate; and a 30- day submission of ‘‘complete substantive responses.’’ On October 24, 2022, six days after the 15-day deadline (i.e., October 18, 2022), Archroma submitted its notice of intent to participate in the sunset reviews of the Orders; Archroma submitted its substantive response by the requisite deadline. Consequently, Commerce rejected Archroma’s notice of intent to participate because it was untimely, and consequently rejected Archroma’s substantive response as unsolicited due to Archroma’s failure to submit a timely notice of intent to participate. 3 Despite Archroma’s subsequent requests for reconsideration,4 Commerce made no change to its decisions in this regard.5 On December 29, 2022, Commerce issued its final results in the sunset reviews of the Orders.6 Because no domestic interested party responded to Commerce’s notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, Commerce revoked the Orders consistent with section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act.7 Archroma subsequently challenged Commerce’s Final Results at the CIT on that same day. The CIT held that Commerce could not lawfully revoke the Orders solely due to a domestic interested party’s untimely filing of a notice of intent to participate. 8 The CIT elaborated that section 751(c) of the Act allows for Commerce to revoke an order only if no domestic interested party provides an ‘‘answer to a solicitation for the substantive content that {section VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Jun 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 53393Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2024 / Notices 9 Id. at 16. 10 Id. at 18. 11 Id. at 18. 12 See Timken Co. v.

Cir. 2010) (Diamond Sawblades). 751(c)(2) of the Act} instructs the agency to seek.’’ 9 According to the CIT, because Archroma’s timely substantive response satisfied the request for substantive material pursuant to section 751(c)(2)(B) of the Act, the agency was obligated to conduct the sunset reviews of the Orders.10 Additionally, the CIT held that Commerce’s regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1), which sets the 15- day procedural deadline for a notice of intent to participate, violates section 751(c)(2)–(3) of the Act, because it removes from domestic interested parties the statutory right to submit substantive information in a sunset review if, as here, a timely notice of intent is not filed. 11 Consequently, the CIT issued a declaratory judgment and injunction, ordering Commerce to accept Archroma’s substantive response, and conduct full sunset reviews of the Orders. Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,12 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,13 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Act, Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with an agency determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s May 28, 2024, judgment constitutes a final decision that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Reinstatement of Antidumping Duty Orders Pursuant to the CIT’s May 28, 2024, final decision, Commerce is reinstating the Orders. Reconduction of Sunset Reviews Through this notice, we are notifying the public that Commerce is reconducting its sunset reviews of the Orders in accordance with the CIT’s judgment. Commerce will begin reconducting the sunset review on July 1, 2024, to coordinate with the U.S. International Trade Commission’s sunset reviews, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries of OBAs China and Taiwan that are or were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after November 27, 2022. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of OBAs China and Taiwan that are or were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after November 27, 2022, as appropriate. Cash Deposit Rates At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order to require cash deposits at a rate of zero percent for entries of OBAs from China and Taiwan that are or were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after November 27, 2022. Upon a final and conclusive court decision in the litigation, Commerce intends to issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP as appropriate.

The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On May 10, 2012, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (77 FR 27419 and 27423). Following the first five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective November 27, 2017, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (82 FR 55990). The Commission previously instituted these second five-year reviews on October 2, 2022 (87 FR 59827), but subsequently terminated the reviews on January 13, 2023 (88 FR 2374) following Commerce’s final results of sunset reviews and revocation of the orders on certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (87 FR 80162, December 29, 2022). Following an appeal by domestic producer Archroma U.S., Inc., the U.S. Court of International Trade directed Commerce and the Commission to undertake reviews of the orders. See Archroma U.S., Inc. v. United States, Ct. No. 22–354, Slip Op. 24–61 and Declaratory Judgment and Injunction (Ct. Int’l Trade May 28, 2024). The Commission is therefore reinstituting these second five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China and Taiwan. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations and its expedited first five-year review determinations, the Commission found a single Domestic Like Product consisting of all forms, states, concentrations, and compositions of stilbenic optical brightening agent products co-extensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:36 Jun 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 54526 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 126 / Monday, July 1, 2024 / Notices the Commission defined the Domestic Industry to consist of all U.S. producers of the Domestic Like Product, namely Clariant Corporation, BASF Corporation, and 3V Incorporated. In its expedited five-year review determinations, the Commission again defined the Domestic Industry as consisting of all U.S. producers of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission’s rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408. Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.—Pursuant to § 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the Secretary will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On November 29, 2001, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of hot-rolled steel products from China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine (66 FR 59561, 59563, 59562, and 59559). On December 3, 2001, Commerce issued countervailing duty orders on imports of hot-rolled steel products from India, Indonesia, and Thailand and antidumping duty orders on imports of hot-rolled steel products from India and Indonesia (66 FR 60197, 60194, 60198, 60192, and 60198). Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from India, Indonesia, and Thailand and antidumping duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine following Commerce’s and the Commission’s first five-year reviews, effective December 27, 2007 (72 FR 73316), second five-year reviews, effective February 7, 2014 (79 FR 7425), and third five-year reviews, effective August 27, 2019 (84 FR 44851). The Commission is now conducting fourth reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations, its full first and second five-year review determinations, and its expedited third five-year review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all hot-rolled steel products corresponding to Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, its full first and second five-year review determinations, and its expedited third five-year review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all domestic producers of hot-rolled steel products. (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:36 Jun 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00125 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Initiation === 54435Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 126 / Monday, July 1, 2024 / Notices 1 See Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Final Rule, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023).

[FR Doc. 2024–14459 Filed 6–28–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List AGENCY : Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Brenda E. Brown, Office of AD/CVD Operations, Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482–4735. Background Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an antidumping duty (AD) or countervailing duty (CVD) order, finding, or suspended investigation, an interested party, as defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213, that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) conduct an administrative review of that AD or CVD order, finding, or suspended investigation. All deadlines for the submission of comments or actions by Commerce discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting date. Respondent Selection In the event Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to requests made for the orders identified below, Commerce intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports during the period of review (POR). We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (APO) to all parties having an APO within five days of publication of the initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent selection within 35 days of publication of the initiation Federal Register notice. Therefore, we encourage all parties interested in commenting on respondent selection to submit their APO applications on the date of publication of the initiation notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. Commerce invites comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the review. In the event Commerce decides it is necessary to limit individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection under section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: In general, Commerce finds that determinations concerning whether particular companies should be ‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single entity for purposes of calculating AD rates) require a substantial amount of detailed information and analysis, which often require follow-up questions and analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will not conduct collapsing analyses at the respondent selection phase of a review and will not collapse companies at the respondent selection phase unless there has been a determination to collapse certain companies in a previous segment of this AD proceeding (i.e., investigation, administrative review, new shipper review, or changed circumstances review). For any company subject to a review, if Commerce determined, or continued to treat, that company as collapsed with others, Commerce will assume that such companies continue to operate in the same manner and will collapse them for respondent selection purposes. Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse companies for purposes of respondent selection. Parties are requested to: (a) identify which companies subject to review previously were collapsed; and (b) provide a citation to the proceeding in which they were collapsed. Further, if companies are requested to complete a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for purposes of respondent selection, in general each company must report volume and value data separately for itself. Parties should not include data for any other party, even if they believe they should be treated as a single entity with that other party. If a company was collapsed with another company or companies in the most recently completed segment of a proceeding where Commerce considered collapsing that entity, complete quantity and value data for that collapsed entity must be submitted. Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that requests a review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The regulation provides that Commerce may extend this time if it is reasonable to do so. Determinations by Commerce to extend the 90-day deadline will be made on a case-by-case basis. Deadline for Particular Market Situation Allegation Section 504 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act by adding the concept of particular market situation (PMS) for purposes of constructed value under section 773(e) of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act states that ‘‘if a particular market situation exists such that the cost of materials and fabrication or other processing of any kind does not accurately reflect the cost of production in the ordinary course of trade, the administering authority may use another calculation methodology under this subtitle or any other calculation methodology.’’ When an interested party submits a PMS allegation pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce will respond to such a submission consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). If Commerce finds that a PMS exists under section 773(e) of the Act, then it will modify its dumping calculations appropriately. Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline for the submission of PMS allegations and supporting factual information. However, in order to administer section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce must receive PMS allegations and supporting VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:36 Jun 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Final Results - AD - China - Taiwan === 88729Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2024 / Notices 1 See Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 27423 (May 10, 2012); and Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from Taiwan: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 27419 (May 10, 2012) (collectively, Orders). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 89 FR 54435 (July 1, 2024) (Initiation Notice). 3 See Archroma’s Letters, ‘‘Notice of Intent to Participate,’’ dated July 15, 2024. 4 See Archroma’s Letters, ‘‘Substantive Response,’’ dated July 23, 2024. 5 See Commerce’s Letter, ‘‘Sunset Reviews for July 2024,’’ dated August 21, 2024. 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,’’ dated July 22, 2024. 7 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Expedited Second Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary of the date of the last determination by the ITC.

SUMMARY : As a result of these expedited sunset reviews, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents (OBAs) from the People’s Republic of China (China) and Taiwan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In 2012, Commerce published in the Federal Register the orders with respect to OBAs from the China and Taiwan. 1 On July 1, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the initiation of the second sunset reviews of the Orders on OBAs from China and Taiwan, in accordance with section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On July 15, 2024, we received a timely notice of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from Archroma U.S. Inc. (Archroma), a domestic interested party, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 3 Archroma claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in the United States. On July 23, 2024, Archroma provided complete substantive responses for these reviews within the 30-day deadline as specified in 19 CFR 351.2218(d)(3)(i). 4 Commerce did not receive substantive responses from respondent interested parties. On August 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from other interested parties. 5 As a result, in accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day, sunset reviews of the Orders. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. 6 The deadline for these final results is November 5, 2024. Scope of the Orders The product covered by the Orders are OBAs. For a full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 7 Analysis of the Comments Received All issues raised in these sunset reviews, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation of the Orders and the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if the Orders were to be revoked, are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice.

A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from the interested parties, we made changes to the Preliminary Results margin calculation for Dingli,6 the sole company under review, which resulted in changes to its preliminary margin. Separate Rate Commerce determines that Dingli is eligible to receive a separate rate in this administrative review.7 There are no other companies under review. China-Wide Entity Commerce’s policy regarding the conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review. 8 Under this policy, the China- wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity is not under review, and the China-wide entity’s rate (i.e., 165.14 percent) is not subject to change. Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period April 13, 2022, through March 31, 2023, for the mandatory respondent: Exporter Weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd ........................................... 12.39 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final results to interested parties within five days after the publication of this notice.9 Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these final results of review. Because Dingli’s ad valorem weighted-average final dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), we have calculated importer-specific assessment rates for this respondent, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 10 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 Nov 07, 2024 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\08NON1.SGM 08NON1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Determination === 10830 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 38 / Thursday, February 27, 2025 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). confidential treatment by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly.

Background The Commission previously instituted these second five-year reviews on October 2, 2022 (87 FR 59827), but subsequently terminated the reviews on January 13, 2023 (88 FR 2374) following Commerce’s final results of sunset reviews and revocation of the orders on certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (87 FR 80162, December 29, 2022). Following an appeal by domestic producer Archroma U.S., Inc., the U.S. Court of International Trade directed Commerce and the Commission to undertake reviews of the orders. See Archroma U.S., Inc. v. U.S. Dep’t of Commerce, et al., 703 F. Supp. 3d 1396, 1403–04 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2024). The Commission reinstituted these reviews on July 1, 2024 (89 FR 54525) and determined on October 7, 2024 that it would conduct expedited reviews (89 FR 88303, November 7, 2024). The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It completed and filed its determinations in these reviews on February 21, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On May 10, 2012, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD orders on OBAs from China and Taiwan. 1 On July 1, 2024, Commerce initiated the second sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 2 As a result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked. 3 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 Mar 06, 2025 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 11512 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 44 / Friday, March 7, 2025 / Notices 4 See Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from China and Taiwan, 90 FR 10830 (February 27, 2025) (ITC Final Determination). 5 The brackets in this sentence are part of the chemical formula. 6 Id. 7 See ITC Final Determination. 1 See Hexamethylenetetramine from the People’s Republic of China and India: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 89 FR 87560 (November 4, 2024) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Hexamethylenetetramine from the People’s Republic of China and India: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations in the Countervailing Duty Investigations, 89 FR 92096 (November 21, 2024). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Affirmative Determination of the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Hexamethylenetetramine from India,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). On February 27, 2025, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. 4 Scope of the Orders The OBAs covered by the Orders are all forms (whether free acid or salt) of compounds known as triazinylaminostilbenes (i.e., all derivatives of 4,4′-bis [1,3,5-triazin-2- yl] 5 amino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid), except for compounds listed in the following paragraph. The stilbenic OBAs covered by the Orders include final stilbenic OBA products, as well as intermediate products that are themselves triazinylaminostilbenes produced during the synthesis of stilbenic OBA products. Excluded from the Orders are all forms of 4,4′-bis[4-anilino-6- morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl] 6 amino- 2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid, C40H40N12O8S2 (‘‘Fluorescent Brightener 71’’). The Orders cover the above- described compounds in any state (including but not limited to powder, slurry, or solution), of any concentrations of active stilbenic OBA ingredient, as well as any compositions regardless of additives (i.e., mixtures or blends, whether of stilbenic OBAs with each other, or of stilbenic OBAs with additives that are not stilbenic OBAs), and in any type of packaging. These OBAs are classifiable under subheading 3204.20.8000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), but they may also enter under subheadings 2933.69.6050, 2921.59.4000, and 2921.59.8090. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive. Continuation of the Orders As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be February 27, 2025.7 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews of the Orders not later than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary of the date of the last determination by the ITC. Administrative Protective Order (APO) This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 9, 2020, Commerce published its Final Results in the 2017 CVD administrative review of HRS from Korea. In the Final Results, Commerce, after examining the information on the record, found that Hyundai Steel received additional benefits from certain other fees under the Port of Incheon program (i.e., harbor exclusive usage fee(s)) that are measurable. 1 We found that, because necessary information was not available on the record with respect to these fees, it was appropriate to calculate the benefit from them based on facts available, pursuant to section 776(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce computed a 0.06 percent ad valorem subsidy rate for the provision of port usage rights at the Port of Incheon program. Hyundai Steel appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On August 27, 2021, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce to reconsider our application of facts available and, if appropriate, the rate assigned to Hyundai Steel. 2 In its final remand redetermination, issued in October 2021, Commerce recalculated the benefit amount Hyundai Steel received under the provision of port usage rights at the Port of Incheon program. As a result of our redetermination, we find that Hyundai Steel’s overall subsidy rate for the POR is de minimis.3 The CIT sustained Commerce’s final redetermination.4 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,5 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,6 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Act, Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s September 19, 2022, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its Final Results with respect to Hyundai Steel as follows: Company Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Hyundai Steel Company 7 .... 0.46 * * (de minimis) Cash Deposit Requirements Because Hyundai Steel has a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries of HRS from Korea that were produced and/or exported by Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd., (a/k/a Hyundai Steel Company), that were the subject of Commerce’s Final Results that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, during the period January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess CVDs on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Hyundai Steel in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess CVDs on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the ad valorem rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an ad valorem subsidy rate is zero or de minimis,8 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to CVDs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.— On May 10, 2012, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (77 FR 27419 and 27423). Following the first five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective November 27, 2017, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (82 FR 55990). The Commission is now conducting second five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China and Taiwan. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations and its expedited first VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Sep 30, 2022 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM 03OCN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 59828 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 190 / Monday, October 3, 2022 / Notices five-year review determinations, the Commission found a single Domestic Like Product consisting of all forms, states, concentrations, and compositions of stilbenic optical brightening agent products co-extensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry to consist of all U.S. producers of the Domestic Like Product, namely Clariant Corporation, BASF Corporation, and 3V Incorporated. In its expedited five-year review determinations, the Commission again defined the Domestic Industry as consisting of all U.S. producers of certain stilbenic optical brightening agents coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission’s rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408. Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.—Pursuant to § 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the Secretary will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the proceeding.

SUMMARY : As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and pressure pipe (large diameter pipe) from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping as indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 3, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the AD order on large diameter pipe from Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 1 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and (ii), Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this sunset review from Vallourec Star, L.P. and United States Steel Corporation (collectively, the domestic interested parties) within 15 days after the date of publication of the Initiation Notice.2 The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act. Commerce received adequate substantive responses to the Initiation Notice from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 3 Commerce received no substantive responses from any respondent interested parties. In accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day, sunset review of the Order. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are large diameter seamless carbon and alloy (other than stainless) steel standard, line, and pressure pipes. A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 4 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNotices/ListLayout.aspx. Final Results of Sunset Review Pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(c) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail would be at a rate up to 107.80 percent. Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely written notification of the destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Background On May 10, 2012, Commerce published the AD orders on OBAs from the China and Taiwan.1 On November 27, 2017, Commerce published the most recent continuation of the Orders.2 On October 3, 2022, Commerce initiated the current sunset reviews of the Orders pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.3 Consistent with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B), because no domestic interested party filed a timely notice of intent to participate in these proceedings,4 we concluded that ‘‘no domestic interested party has responded to the notice of initiation under section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act,’’ and ‘‘{notified} the {U.S. International Trade Commission} in writing as such.’’ 5 Scope of the Orders The OBAs covered by the Orders are all forms (whether free acid or salt) of compounds known as triazinylaminostilbenes (i.e., all derivatives of 4,4’-bis [1,3,5- triazin-2- yl] 6 amino-2,2’- stilbenedisulfonic acid), except for compounds listed in the following paragraph. The stilbenic OBAs covered by the Orders include final stilbenic OBA products, as well as intermediate products that are themselves triazinylaminostilbenes produced during the synthesis of stilbenic OBA products. Excluded from the Orders are all forms of 4,4’-bis[4-anilino-6- morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl] 7 amino- 2,2’-stilbenedisulfonic acid, C40H40N12O8S2 (‘‘Fluorescent Brightener 71’’). The Orders cover the above-described compounds in any state (including but not limited to powder, slurry, or solution), of any concentrations of active stilbenic OBA ingredient, as well as any compositions regardless of additives (i.e., mixtures or blends, whether of stilbenic OBAs with each other, or of stilbenic OBAs with additives that are not stilbenic OBAs), and in any type of packaging. These OBAs are classifiable under subheading 3204.20.8000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), but they may also enter under subheadings 2933.69.6050, 2921.59.4000 and 2921.59.8090. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive. Revocation Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act, if no domestic interested party responds to a notice of initiation, Commerce shall, within 90 days after the initiation of review, revoke the order. Because no domestic interested party filed a timely notice of intent to participate in these proceedings, consistent with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B), we concluded that ‘‘no domestic interested party has responded to the notice of initiation under section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act.’’ Consequently, Commerce is revoking the Orders. Effective Date of Revocation Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to the Orders entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, on or after November 27, 2022, the fifth anniversary of the date of publication of the last continuation notice. 8 Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and AD deposit requirements. Commerce will complete any pending reviews of these orders and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i).

Abstract: Water information is fundamental to national and local economic well-being, protection of life and property, and effective management of the Nation’s water resources. The USGS works with partners to monitor, assess, conduct targeted research, and deliver information on a wide range of water resources and conditions, as mandated by the SECURE Water Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–11, title IX, subtitle F of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009). This legislation emphasizes the need for updated, reliable data to support water resource planning and management, and specifically directs the USGS to improve assessments and forecasts of water availability, defined as ‘‘the balance between water supply and demand, as determined using a set of core components of water quality, quantity, and use.’’ This generic clearance will centralize administration of USGS public data collections in the topic area of water availability—encompassing both the supply and demand aspects, as well as water quality, access, and usage patterns—and allow for more systematic and timely collections that will benefit new and ongoing research programs within the Water Resources Mission Area. The USGS plans a variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods under this clearance, which may include surveys, interviews, and focus groups. The exact nature of the instruments and samples is dependent on each individual project and details will be provided for each individual information collection request submitted, following OMB requirements. The bureau commits to ensuring that all collections are voluntary, minimally burdensome, noncontroversial, and only conducted with informed participant consent. All data collected will protect respondent privacy to the extent permitted by law, with a particular emphasis on protecting PII. Any information collected will not be used to influence policy decisions directly and will only be disseminated in aggregated or anonymized formats, adhering to strict guidelines for scientific integrity and privacy. Respondents will be informed of all planned data uses. Measures will be taken to minimize public burden to the greatest extent possible, including review and pre-testing of instruments to ensure clarity and relevance, and using electronic collection means whenever possible. The research anticipated under this request will be used to advance both the scientific understanding of our socio- hydrological system, and bureau priorities to integrate social science, decision science, and human-centered design more fully into Water Enterprise projects in a strategic, rigorous, and consistent way. Collection of this information supports the USGS by improving both national and regional assessments of water quantity, quality, and use, advancing scientific understanding of how water availability impacts different groups in different ways, informing product development to maximize the utility and usability of USGS water data, and framing future and ongoing research efforts within the Bureau. Outputs are likely to reduce costs and improve outcomes for both the bureau and the public by ensuring our science is conducted efficiently, effectively, and is serving its intended purpose. Title of Collection: USGS Generic Clearance for Water Availability Data Collections. OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. Form Number: None. Type of Review: New. Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, Federal, and Tribal governments; individuals or households; Universities, businesses, or other for-profit organizations; not-for-profit institutions; Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,860. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on information collection method. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 10,000. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: As needed. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

ACTION : Notice. SUMMARY : The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’) to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

Comments from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)). impaired persons can obtain information on this matter by contacting the Commission’s TDD terminal on 202– 205–1810. Persons with mobility impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access to the Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202–205–2000. General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its internet server (https:// www.usitc.gov). The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On October 7, 2024, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (89 FR 54525, July 1, 2024) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. 1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Staff report.—A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on January 22, 2025. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules. Written submissions.—As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution,2 and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before 5:15 p.m. on January 30, 2025, and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by January 30, 2025. However, should the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce’s final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce’s results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_ on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission’s procedures with respect to filings. In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. Determination.—The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Act; this notice is published pursuant to § 207.62 of the Commission’s rules. By order of the Commission.
